I received a few fairly skinny juveniles. I've put them at 56F and offered crickets and chopped up nightcrawlers and a few small European nightcrawlers. I am not sure if they've eaten yet but I suspect they may not have as they rarely move even overnight. Unfortunately, one seemed to be pretty far gone by the time I received it. I doubt it's eaten in a long time so I will start it on carnivore care if it doesn't eat within a few days.

Do you guys think I should bump their temps up to 65 to try getting them active and feeding? They seem pretty lifeless even after they've had a few days to settle in.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
